Donald Trump tried his stupid handshake thing on the president of Paraguay and it backfired to supremely satisfying effect
It’s well known that Donald Trump has a thing for stupid handshakes, yanking away on his opposite number’s hand as if he suspected them of incorporating the false arm Rod Hull once wrapped around Emu (one for younger readers there).
It was more a feature of his first than second term in the White House, although now it appears that Trump is getting back into the swing of his ridiculous ‘power move’ after he did this meeting Santiago Peña, the president of Paraguay, in Florida on Saturday.

Peña just gave Trump the ‘nope, not today’ treatment
That tug-of-war handshake finally met its match. Paraguay 1, power move 0.— VasTech (@Vastechat) March 8, 2026
